Synopsis
The Ellis family constitutes a typical American middleclass home. Lee Ellis is an architect, though in a subordinate position in a large firm; Mary, his wife, intensely sympathetic and broadminded, is devoted to her husband, son, and daughter. Ellis is discharged, and he vainly tries to obtain a position with another firm. As Jerry prepares to leave school and go to work, Mary receives a small legacy, which she invests in business for her husband. Soon they become prosperous; Jerry gets his longed-for car, and Betty, the daughter, is sent to private school. Jerry, indulging in jazz parties, falls under the influence of Mrs. Wayne, a wealthy widow, who persuades Ellis to accompany her on a weekend excursion. Jerry, rebelling against his mother's influence, decides to elope with Edna Larkin, gold-digging flapper. Mary manages to intercept their train, which is wrecked; Jerry sustains a broken leg, and the family is once again happily united.
